"We're proud to introduce children to the rich cultures of Omaha's sister cities," said Lindy Hoyer, Omaha Children's Museum executive director. Hoyer serves on the Omaha Sister Cities Association board of directors. WorldFest activities are planned by the local groups that represent each sister city within the OSCA organization. 
 
Each one of Omaha's sister cities local groups has planned an evening full of entertainment, demonstrations, arts and crafts activities and food sampling. Children are given a passport upon arrival to the museum and receive a stamp for each sister city night they attend. Kids also receive currency for each city to exchange for food samples and participate in activities.  
 
During the six evenings of celebration, the museum will display flags and banners of Omaha's sister cities along with a world map to identify locations and clocks to demonstrate the time in each city.  
 
The WorldFest schedule of cities is as follows: 
 
Thursday, June 21, Shizuoka, Japan
